when he was on No Reservations. They went to El Bulli together. After that he stood up to tRump when he was sued by the moron and he stood his ground. It was over his immigration policy and "brown people".

"The Trump Organization has settled a legal battle with the chef José Andrés that had stretched on for two years. The lawsuit concerned a restaurant deal that Andrés pulled out of after Trump made comments disparaging Mexicans."

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/07/523004201/trump-organization-settles-lawsuit-with-chef-jos-andr-s

"In the eight months since that settlement, Andrés has made clear his stance on matters including politics, FEMA, immigration, and public health via Twitter, where he’s called out a number of issues related to the administration, including Trump’s non-response to the destruction Hurricane Maria wage on Puerto Rico in September. Here now, all of the times Andrés took aim at Trump on Twitter in 2017"

After Maria? Some lady whose only experience was catering! Not up to the job! Or the two person electric company out of Montana or somewhere who tried to fix things at a snail's pace for mucho dinero...lord! Hopefully trump will just butt out of Dorian s aftermath.

Little did I know that the man who gave us such astonishingly good food was also such a great humanitarian.
